Hi! I'm Mayday. I use he/him pronouns. I'm in high school. I love making art, listening to (loud) music, arts and crafts, and learning new things. I've been part of the hive since May 2024, so around two years (time flies...). - Why would I be a good manager? 1) I'm good at solving problems. I think things through very thoroughly and I don't jump to conclusions. Despite this, I don't always make the right decisions. But being able to see all sides of a situation can at least help others to solve problems effectively. 2) I don't cause problems much. In order to not cause arguments, I don't always openly share my opinion about contentious issues. I do my best to quell conflicts, or at least not make them worse. - Why would I not be a good manager? 1) Talking to people is hard for me. It's difficult for me to understand tone and sometimes it's hard to tell if people are joking or not. Asking people for help is difficult. Recently, I've been able to get some help with communication. It's still a struggle but slightly less so. 2) I am very open about difficult topics, which may be off-putting. I am careful not to break the terms of service and community guidelines. - Unique things I would bring to the position My ability to view situations from multiple perspectives would be an asset. I would also love to give riddles. - What I would improve about the Gaehive I would love to provide help with homework. Not cheating, but explaining concepts without giving away answers. The option to ask for help could be beneficial. - My perception of manager responsibility Managers have to enforce rules, watch the hive, fix problems, spread information, understand what does and does not work to keep things running, deescalate conflicts, communicate effectively with other managers and curators, and listen to suggestions from other managers and curators, all while being criticized by thousands of kids. No matter what managers do, someone is going to be angry, which puts managers under more pressure. I can handle that pressure. - Recommendations 1- @Fromple. Matt is one of the friendliest Hivians I have met. She is good at communication and is a super awesome and kind person. 2- @maddy_lolha / @deadtothepool. I have never seen Wade break a rule. He educates others without being unkind. Overall very reliable.
By the way, I used to be @-chaoticenby-
